Rotation 2 Question 24

24. A particle is projected at time t=0 from a point P on the ground with a speed v0, at an angle of 45 to the horizontal. Find the magnitude and direction of the angular momentum of the particle about P at time t=v0g.

Answer:

Correct Answer: 24. mv0322g in a direction perpendicular to paper inwards

Solution:

  1. In terms of i^,j^ and k^

u=v02i^+v02j^a=gj^t=v0g=v022gi^+v022gj^v022gj^

Now, angular momentum about point P at given time

L=m(r×v)=mv032g+v032gv032g+v0322gk^=mv0322gk^

Thus, magnitude of angular momentum is mv0322g in k^ direction i.e. in a direction perpendicular to paper inwards
